Lingnan: A Literary Landscape, the Public Lecture Series on “Lingnan Culture and the World” 2024, jointly organised by Hong Kong Public Libraries and the Research Programme for Lingnan Culture, Institute of Chinese Studies, CUHK, presents three distinct thematic lectures. These lectures portray the unique literary landscape in which Lingnan rejuvenated its cultural heritage, established links between the local and global communities, and harmonised the aesthetics of the classical and the vernacular creations. Through these vivid presentations, the series highlights the enduring vitality of the Cantonese language and literature across centuries.

This public lecture series is one of the events of The 4th Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Culture and Arts Festival, and the activities in the Chinese Culture Promotion Series.
